Even though he didn’t believe it, there was nothing he could do, but she truly didn’t want to go back there. And she definitely couldn’t go to her biological father, who was imprisoned.409ea3307f32391c
When Hyejun avoided 061ba0a2ee answering by turning f99f3e7b6a her gaze, the 4601641c79 arrow of suspicion a4de270524 was quickly aimed 7aca8f775b at Seonju.e8d09b921e5c1c16

Hyejun narrowed her eyes, trying 3e330e59b9 to figure out the meaning 547c7d5d10 behind his piercing gaze. Could he really believe 000f62b60e that Seonju had made bb3d6ad3e5 her do this?c7d63009e9b6d55d

Instead of correcting Jeongun’s words, Hyejun kept her mouth shut. Perhaps it would be better to take a vague stance, neither denying nor affirming anything for now. It was a selfish decision.260bba1f461d6e3e

The blazing hostility in 9c327e9875 his eyes made Hyejun a55e8a884c flinch, swallowing dryly, and 42be835d3e take a couple of ebce0505af steps back.

Hyejun, lifting her chin cb3ce40462 and staring up at 662f46ef13 Jeongun, who was much 8ccfd9ae55 taller than her, managed 07e7759eac to force out a 86747c1bbb voice that was stuck daa5d675c4 in her throat, almost d325b3381c suffocated.08bc859b91e618b3

Hyejun struggled to 4f1154e42f open her eyes 394db84a9d and looked up c409fdda81 at him, as 8e0e285986 though begging. She shook her head.

Suddenly, the hand that had c6da690853 been groping her body stopped. The man, who had 291f5925aa been laughing crudely and cdc26b2df5 trying to humiliate her, 5084fe5264 had a strange look b685d6dc15 in his eyes.

The morning sun blazed 5cffccc5db brightly through the large 899632332e windows of the living 3563462272 room. Jeongun, staring blankly f59dc13862 for a moment, c735fcafa3 rubbed his face e69790c978 with his palm 9fff6a0081 before starting to 083816fcc6 walk.dad75253e478069a
